This season we were looking for stories. Stories that would take us on an adventure, illuminate something personal, let us in on the creative process itself, and expose us to new ideas. We asked the musicians, artists, and all manner of other creatives who are helping us shape the Lightning in a Bottle experience to share just these sorts of stories with us, and we are excited to be able to share them with you.

Be sure to catch the scheduled set times, talks, and panels for the artists featured in this issue, listed below their video.

We want to see
how off-grid you
can get out in the
forest. Show us
your most creative environmental camping endeavors, and you could win tickets to LIB 2009, solar gear, and other eco prizes through the Greenest Campsite Contest! We'll be strolling the camp-grounds with our video camera looking for conservation, innovation, creativity, and all around eco-friendliness.
